DETROIT, MI--(Marketwired - Jun 4, 2014) - Speaktoit, developer of human-computer interaction technologies based on natural language conversations and creator of the Speaktoit Assistant, today announced its attendance and exhibition at Telematics Detroit 2014, the world's largest forum dedicated to the future of connected auto mobility. Speaktoit business and technical executives will be at Booth #8 to discuss the company's current work -- and industry experience -- in embeddable natural language understanding integrations as it relates to cars.
Speaktoit is the most robust natural language understanding platform on the automotive market and aims to become part of everyone's daily life as the technology is embedded into the vehicles -- and other devices and objects -- that we operate all the time. Speaktoit's products are currently being used by over 12 million users and have the highest user rank as an independent smart phone and tablet assistant on Android and iOS platforms. In addition to cars, Speaktoit is expanding to flying vehicles, entertainment and connected devices in homes, wearables, robots and other devices and applications.
"Embedded natural language understanding is an important part of an automobile's future," said Ilya Gelfenbeyn, CEO, Speaktoit. "The car is a location where we not only spend much of our time, but also one where we often need access to information quickly, like weather, our calendars, news stories, or traffic. And, of course, we need to get this information while keeping two hands on the wheel. Enabling our cars to respond to us in our natural language, to know the context of what we need, and to proactively assist us are all facets of the future of driving that we are working on through strategic partnerships. We want communication with our cars to be a seamless, instinctive, and helpful part of our in-vehicle experience."
Features of Speaktoit's virtual assistant technology for cars include:
- Support of clarifying conversation in natural language
- Intent recognition and requests fulfillment
- Broad context awareness features
- Pro-active assistance scenarios report
- Multi-modal interface support (Voice, GUI)
- Context-specific speech recognition
- Support for English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Chinese and Portuguese languages
